KNOWING KNOWING KNOWING

Chiang Mai somewhere, cool – warm, Knowing knowing knowing, writing writing writing, what an amazing experience to have at the Wat for 28 days, a life long experience and a realization of the three characteristics----------
- Impermanence.
- Suffering
- Non self

To truly see the meaning and just knowing without having to think about it I think I will be back and ajahn Suphan is very good and even monks likes me, but I now have done everything I came here for wearing 3 Buddha’s and beads and meeting, Alex, Andrew, and Sonia and Sylvia was also very good people who are on the same path i’m happy to go back the Wat and Patpong but soon I must go to Laos and this is tour is very good with Chang(elephants) riding and trekking through the forest for a few days is very good I don’t think staying in the city would have been good after the 28 days in the Wat and the determination, I do not want to leave here I will enjoy living and working for a while here even the local people here like me but a lot of
Suffering, Happiness, Study and Practice.
I feel a lot better now that I have a purpose while I sit on top of a mountain in Chiang Mai, with forest all around, I again realise, silence again is bliss, and the truth is what lasts forever, and simplicity and the middle way, is what the key to life is for me, and its always better to follow your heart to really sit down in silence and listen to it don’t follow your mind it never knows what it wants and to be calm and relaxed is the best approach because fear is our worst enemy and everything seems so far away when one is still because being is in the moment, because there is suffering , its what one does and how they act that counts, 2 be is to do, to do is 2 be, suffering is also impermanent where there is suffering there is happiness.
(Love is all we have to save the world)
(I don’t want an occupation to rule my life)
(To miss the one you love is the most suffering)
(It’s also the only emotion which can cause such ill will and good)
(Life only exist in the present moment so why are you thinking about tomorrow)
(I’m but an ant lucky enough to walk with giants)

In the Garden of Solitude

 T he stillness where shadows whisper,   I wander the garden of my solitude,   Amongst the withered petals of hope,   Fear blooms like a nig...
